2021, 20 suggestions for minimalist living
Beautiful morning light, accompany you to read.
Spring comes and summer goes, autumn harvest and winter storage, and before you know it, 2021 is coming quietly.
looking back on the past year, we have done too much addition to life.
at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, only by quitting the old to welcome the new can we return to zero to restart.
I agree with the saying:
standing at the starting point of 2021, it's time to clean up your life.
I have summed up 20 tips for minimalist living so that you can get rid of your burdens and travel light in the new year.
01
material minimalism
I don't know if you have noticed that your life seems to have fallen into a strange circle:
buy everything you need, and you don't want to throw away what you don't need, so there are more and more piles in the house, and the pile becomes more and more messy.
seems to be hoarding objects, but it is actually indulging material desires.
in fact, too many things do not make us happier, but waste space and increase the burden.
architect Vandero has a famous saying: Less is more (less is more).
in the new year, only by doing a good job of material subtraction can we achieve infinity of inner ease.
in terms of minimalist matter, you can start with the following points:
1. Clean the room regularly
tidy up the room every half a month, throw away the unnecessary things immediately, and throw away the excess waste.
for example: clothes that haven't been worn in 1-2 years, expired skin care products, medicine, accumulated shopping bags, etc.
2. Skillfully use the second-hand platform
those who are expensive, have not used much, and it is a pity that they have lost them, they can choose to change hands or give them to others.
if you are interested, you can also donate it for the public good.
3. Think twice before buying
it's more important to restrain your desire to buy than to lose something. Never open your shopping cart late at night.
remember to ask yourself before you decide to buy: do I really need it? How often do you use it? Is there a substitute at home?
4. Insist on "one in and one out"
refuse to hoard. If you buy a new one, throw away the same old one.
if the quantity of the same thing is kept at a certain amount, there will be no chaos at home.
5. Pay attention to quality, not quantity
two shopping principles worth learning: quality is more important than style, and quality is more important than quantity.
the classic style is a versatile weapon, and black, white and gray are always popular colors.
6. Always remember that the protagonist of life is not anything, but yourself

relationship
in the past year, have you ever come home from a lively party, slumped on the sofa, suddenly feeling a kind of inexplicable emptiness;
one day you are a little depressed, your address book has been rummaged over, old friends do not dare to disturb, new friends are not suitable to talk.
A trivial thing suddenly makes you see a friend who really treats you clearly.
it's not that you own it, but it consumes you.
in 2021, it's time for ineffective social relationships, strenuous relationships, and false friendships to come to an end.
five tips to help you simplify your relationship and purify your life:
1. Regularly clean up the address book
add Wechat no longer contact people, decisively delete; meaningless group chat, immediately quit.
the process of deleting and withdrawing is also a process of combing closeness and closeness.
try to keep the number of Wechat users at a reasonable number, such as 500.
2. In a low-quality circle, you should leave
the circle of friends who only know how to eat, drink and play, and give up; if you can push a cup for a drink, refuse if you can.
leave the circle of negative energy, and those hypocritical friends.
3. Uncomfortable relationships, when broken, break
relationships that need to be maintained are wrong, and it is not worth continuing without a response.
the new year, do not please others, do not injure yourself.
4. Manage the "useless" relationship with your heart
the two or three old friends left behind are closer only when they are in constant contact; if they are close to their relatives, they will not lose fate if they are accompanied by more company.
the more "useless" the relationship, the more attentive it is.
5. The most important thing is to learn to be alone
when you are alone, you can read, listen to music, and think.
people can better embrace others and the world only by getting along well with themselves.

the past year, we have all experienced a lot of things and accumulated a lot of emotions.
superfluous things are harmful to the eyes, and superfluous worries can also harm the body.
some things are a foregone conclusion, and no matter how much you regret, it is futile.
some people, disappear in the wind, no matter how the call will not respond;
some bad mood, can not be digested for a long time, will only sink deeper and deeper.
now is the time to let go of those worries and free up your hands for the new year.
five Tips to help you bid farewell to the old thoughts of 2020 and embrace the new beauty of 2021.
1. When you are upset by applying the "Law of not worth it"
, say it three times in your heart:
"those who abandon me are not worth chasing; meaningless things are not worth entangling; other people's eyes are not worth caring about."
2. Make appropriate emotional catharsis
for example, go to the playground to sweat, go to the vegetable market to feel the fireworks, and pour out your emotions to strangers.
for example, go to the roomHave a good sleep every now and then and go out for a big meal.
3. Calm down and try to meditate
try to clear your mind and organize your thoughts by meditating.
take 10 minutes at a time, close your eyes, don't think about anything else, and just talk to yourself.
calm down before you can be clean.
4. Do not love the past, do not worry about the future
the new year, do not worry about the past, do not worry about the things that are yet to come.
live in the moment and live every minute in front of you. If you have a bigger heart, there will be less things to do.
5. The most important thing is to learn to "enrich" your heart
try to turn your attention to the good things.
for example, reading, painting, growing flowers, cooking and so on, there is much sunshine in the heart, but there is no haze.

goals
in the past year, I believe that many people have fallen into such a vicious circle:
want to lose weight, want to read books, want to save money, want to travel, and want to do research.
at the beginning of the year, I made a list of plans, and by the end of the year, I found that there was very little that could be accomplished.
too many goals can only make people scramble, and too complicated plans can easily make people give up halfway.
everything can start all over again in 2021.
if you want to get rid of the cycle of "dreams in January, December is still a fantasy", it's time to keep your goals simple.
four tips to help you minimize your goals and make your dreams come true:
1. Don't think about 1989, focus on two or three
focus on one or two little things, don't be erratic, don't worry too much.
learn to have no distractions and do your best when you choose.
2. Learn to "cut the cake"
subdivide the big plan into small plans, such as planning to read 50 books a year, one a week.
each time you complete a project, give yourself a small reward.
3. Minimalist plan, immediate implementation of
the goal of re-simplification, and then a structured plan, no action, everything is zero.
Don't procrastinate, don't hesitate, decide to do it, take the first step immediately.
4. The most important thing is to persist and then insist on
there is no difference in essence between one thing and ten things that cannot be done well.
No matter how clear the goal is, if you don't stick to it, your 2021 is just a repeat of 2020.

after reading such a sentence, I agree with
"people are happy when they are simple, but there are only a handful of people who are happy;
people who are sad when they are complicated are like crucian carps crossing the river."
Life or heart, the more it accumulates, the more chaotic it is, the more painful it is.
the world is too big, life is too short, we have been burdened with too much and worked too long.
in the new year, throw away unnecessary baggage and encumbrance so that life can be refreshing and comfortable.
